Time for day two of Five Minute February. Today's subject is yes. If you've never participated before, I'd love to have you join me. Just leave a comment below with your post linked in to it in the URL section, or simply do your 5 minute writing in the comment box.
Take just 5 minutes out of your day to imply write. Simply write without worrying about it being just right. No editing, no perfecting.
My five minutes starts...
NOW
Yes, probably my favorite answer to hear. Well, and that is because I am naturally a selfish human being. I love to hear yes to a question I ask because it means I'm getting what I think I want.
However, I've learned that yes, isn't always the best answer for me. So when I hear the opposite I think to myself "yes, He's protecting me from my own selfishness."
Yes, one little word, so many uses. It can be used to let someone know that you heard their call for you, to answer a question, or to express gratefulness to another.
Yes is my favorite word to hear because of it's many uses. This one little word can make a person feel so good, so fulfilled. I love to hear it from my husband, especially when it comes to spending time together. I love to hear it from God because I can trust if He's telling me yes, then it is going to be in my best interest, even if it might not seem like it right away.
STOP
Okay, now for my CMA challenge...
I weighed in at 180 today. Which means another 2 pounds is gone. I'm becoming content with 2 pounds a week...after all this isn't The Biggest Loser. And in the real world, weight doesn't typically shed off more than 2-5 pounds a week.
I'm still going forward with the Eat Clean, Move More, Refresh Daily.
I did well in most of these areas today. I'm going to stick with the no bread and no pop. This week I am completely cutting out candies as well. As one of my friends recommended I'm going to take it day by day, one step at a time.
How was your week?
With all that has come and gone, it's time for rediscovery. This place is a step toward doing so. Time to rediscover the Lover of my soul. Rediscover the draw writing has always had on my heart. Rediscover who I am and have been made to be despite anything life throws my way. In this place we will do real, we will do fresh, we will do life-real life-together.

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of hearing 'the opposite' as God saying 'yes' in another sort of way. Like that very much!
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeleteI also loved what susan mentioned. Very cool way of looking at it.

ReplyDeleteThanks Mere! I'm getting excited in the fact that this could very well be the last time I see 180 in reguards to my weight. That's the plan anyway!
